Why don't you ask about them on the Lefever forum. I never noticed them either.

I will have to look at some of mine, but I don't recall ever seeing any Lefevers bushed except some early ones with the screw-in bushings. I Have Hs from in the 40K range into the 70K range. Have an E in the 10K range & then a G in low 20K range. If any of them have a bushing other than that one 10ga-E Pivot Lefer SN 10,515 with the screw-in I have never noticed it.

PS; How did you determine which way they were inserted from, are they bigger at the rear than on the breech-face?

My 1909 HE is bushed; never noticed it before. Are they screwed in from the rear for replacement or is it possible the bushings are of a tougher metal to prevent wear of the pin holes?

Thank you....to everyone who took the time to look....dig in and more, much appreciated:)

Without taking a gun apart...it sure looked like it could have been a very well done repair of a firing pin issue.

Hope this has contributed to the Uncle Dan Fan database?

Happy New Year to all:)

Best, Mark

My gunsmith and I were visiting about this today and are guessing that the bushings were pressed in rather than threaded. That would account for the nearly invisible joint.

Think you could ever get one out if after 100+ years?
